Putting Down Roots – an eyeball-pleasing collection of bizarre, teetering and suspended cityscapes by artist Amy Casey, currently exhibiting at Zg Gallery in Chicago.
Filmmaker Francis Emerick’s fast-cut montage study of the diverse faces and places of New York City, recorded this month. Sez he:
I visited NYC for 12 days in June and brought my Canon 7D with me everywhere. I shot everthing at 60 fps and slowed it down in post using FCP X. I color graded it with VSCO using Aperture.
An ad for the Smart Fortwo from BBDO agency, playing on the fact that they’re as effective offroad as an offroader in the city.

Incredible colour footage of 1920s London shot by an early British pioneer of film named Claude Frisse-Greene, who made a series of travelogues using the colour process his father William – a noted cinematographer – was experimenting with.

Irish software boffins Gone Gaming have released their first computer game – The Jump: Escape The City.
Free to download on iPhone and Android it’s a fun take on the classic post-apocalyptic drivey/jumpy/collecty format.
Also, apparently this sort of thing counts towards the knowledge economy, so anyone who doesn’t play it is an economic traitor.
